Do have aquestion or two, though. And... I admit that I really couldn't find the right item to use for a comment to contact you. My apologies. 1) I note that Darwine uses the freetype fonts too. There are now two types of them and I don't know which is correct to use. I have FINK and installing either one did not cure the comments that Darwine couldn't fine them. 2) I am trying to run The Master Genealogist in Darwine. Others have had success, once DCOM98 is installed. I tried to follow the instructions in the following link, in order to install it: "http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2007-February/024493.html". I'm quite rusty on UNIX and can't get the DCOM98.EXE to run. I get the following message: Welcome to Darwin! gary-gauthiers-computer:~ garygauthier$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" $WINE /Users/garygauthier/Desktop/DCOM98.EXE -bash: /Users/garygauthier/Desktop/DCOM98.EXE: Permission denied gary-gauthiers-computer:~ garygauthier$ Can you help? I think it is just setting the permissions and can't remember how. Regards; Gary Hello, Mike;
